“As I recall, the way Carrie and Big married was something she wanted rather than a feeling that life was slipping away and she best settle quickly. I don’t think of it as someone diminishing herself by letting a man marry her—it always felt that she had arrived at that on her own.”

The actress also spoke about Darren Starr’s take on the ending for the series, and she supported his take on the finale. She said, “The beauty is we can all have lots and lots of opinions about lots of choices Carrie made that we object to or that we stand by. If that’s Darren’s feeling, I think it’s interesting!”
